Be very slow to go into looking for solutions.

Thinking based on who deserves what blocks compassionate communication.

Violence in any form is a tragic expression of our unmet needs.

When it comes to giving advice, never do so unless you've first received a request in writing, signed by a lawyer.

Our goal is to create a quality of empathic connection that allows everyone's needs to be met.

If people just asked: "Here are the needs of both sides, here are the resources. What can be done to meet these needs?" the conflict would be easy to resolve.

If you are a czar or a king or a president or someone that wants to control those below them you do not want people to have a consciousness of life, of their needs. Because people do not make good slaves when they're connected to life... That's why in the public schools the primary objective is obedience to authority.
